Huh? I just heard on the radio 12am to 7am, with estimated 200 visible meteors per hour...

Either way, I'll be watching with weeds onrogar-Smoke(DBG):

 

[Jeff Anderson]

That's about right with the peak at 4-7am central time, best visibility is after moon set away from city lights. You'll see them at midnight but the vsibility with the bright moon will be detered. 4am best time...

...stupid city lights...

I might head out to the mountains and get a glimpse, but our coastal fog is supposed to be coming in around then. I used to check this one out regularly when it was clear. We'll see how I feel tonight.

Waking up early tomorrow. I already set my alarm.

I love meteor showers.

On year, we went out about 5 miles off shore in my friend's sail boat for this. Awesome.

North coast in California is all clouds. No meteors for me this year, again. Oh well. Maybe next year... when I live somewhere else.

I'm currently on the look-out. It seems impossible to catch one on video, guys. Has anyone ever done it?

 

[Jason Ramsey]

Looks like I'm gonna miss it... Bit too bright here in the city...

I'm half tempted to drive down to the ranch though...

Later,

Don't know, I am going to use a still camera with a long shutter and just hope I get a bright one, I have seen about 5 faint ones so far... Crystal clear here, big show is supposed to start in an hour and a half here. I'll be pissed if it sucks.

Yea, get on top a mountain in the clear air and you'll have a really good show.

I'm at 1,000 feet elevation in KC, clear night. 4am is suposed to have the most activity.

 

[ChipG]

When the moon sets in an hour or so they will be a lot easier to see.
